Benefits of technology

The invention is related to a garment with a pocket that can be configured as a single pocket or divided into multiple smaller regions. The pocket can have an opening and can be closed using zippers, Velcro, snaps, or buttons. The opening is finished to make it stronger and more durable. The items placed in the pocket are held in place by the elasticity of the material the garment is made from and by the slit, which allows the items to be placed within the pocket. This invention provides a more convenient and practical way to carry items while wearing the activewear.

Problems solved by technology

Such a finished opening provides for a stronger pocket opening and leads to longevity of the garment.
